NYC Mayor Eric Adams asserted that the reason why some are critical of his leadership is because he is black. “We need to really stop distorting the news,” Adams said. “I’m a black man that’s the mayor, but my story has been interpreted by people that don’t look like me,” he said. “We gotta be honest about that. How many blacks are on editorial boards? How many blacks are determining how these stories are being written?” “My role as mayor is being interpreted through the prisms of your reality and not mine,” Adams said. “So when you write stories, you’re not writing stories for people who were almost homeless like me. You’re not writing stories for people who were arrested and beat by police officers. You’re not writing stories for those who are dealing with high crime.

In their latest destination in their recent wanderings in the Balkan area of southeast Europe, a group of Lev Tahor members is now residing in North Macedonia. As YWN reported, Lev Tahor members left Bosnia a week and a half ago and briefly crossed into Montenegro before continuing to Albania. Apparently, they weren’t granted permission to stay in Albania and crossed into neighboring North Macedonia, where they are now temporarily residing.

Trump had previously attempted to talk publicly about his claims that his campaign was spied on, but he was shut down by the media. Famously, during an October 2020 interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes, host Leslie Stahl said Trump was spreading unverified information.
